Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

What is it?

A faith enrichment program based on the educational methods of Italian educator Maria Montessori

Offered at St. John Neumann parish

Takes place in a specially prepared environment called an atrium, where children can focus on the treasures of our faith – Scripture and liturgy. Each session includes a presentation (about the Mass, the life of Christ, a sacrament, a parable, etc.), individual work time and communal prayer.

The environment contains models and other materials to work with as children make the truths of the faith their own.
